A friend shared @rubyhamad ‘s article on his FB page. His (white) women friends responded about how kt was “annoying” and “racist.” (“I never say all black women do this!”) There was non ironic tone policing (it would be more “persuasive” if she’d said “some” white women do this)
But that’s not what blew my mind.
These white women were all self-described feminists.
This was their first time seeing the article. Or even hearing the term “white women tears.”
Until their white male friend shared it.

One of the white women furious over @rubyhamad ‘s article teaches African American lit.
I’m continually stunned by how many white feminists are clueless to the readily available, published and all, views of black women. It’s not that they disagree. They are surprised the views exist. Women who own Shrill don’t know who @IjeomaOluo is. Really?
I think @Luvvie wrote about “white women tears” a few months ago. This isn’t news. And NotAllWhiteWomening it doesn’t make it go away. awesomelyluvvie.com/2018/04/weapon…
